just in time

Su Qingbai knew that he had a younger brother since he could remember, but he had never met him.

This is a younger brother who lives in his mother's mouth, a nightmare that follows him everywhere.

Chu Xia's mental state is always up and down, he couldn't tell the difference when he was young, sometimes he was careful not to approach him, Chu Xia would come over and gently touch his head and call him Qingbai, sometimes he would be happy Throwing into her arms, what she got was scolding. When Chu Xia came to her senses, she hugged him and apologized in tears. He sat in Chu Xia's arms blankly, unable to understand what she said.

Later, he knew that his mother was sick.

He wants to be considerate of a sick mother.

In his memory, his family's situation in Beijing was not very good in his childhood.

The Su family is a huge family with various complicated relations, and a large part of them are involved in the political circles. His grandfather in his impression was always serious and silent, while his father's behavior style has always been cautious and low-key. Following Su Shengwen to socialize around, he saw clearly the conflict of interests among adults too early.

Su Shengwen taught him, "Look, Qingbai, there are no permanent friends in this world, only permanent interests."

"Any interaction between people has a purpose."

"Don't trust anyone easily."

"The person who speaks better may be stabbed harder in the back."

"Even if you are itching with hatred in your heart, you have to be kind on your face, so that no one can see it."

"........."

So when he was still in school, he knew how to build a good relationship with the classmates in the class, and he had to calculate who he was close to and who he was far away from.

But he always remembered Su Shengwen's words, he couldn't get too close to anyone, let alone trust others foolishly.

He must maintain good grades in school in order to impress others, and it is also convenient for his father to accept praise from others during the holidays.

When he got home, he had to deal with his capricious mother, and listened to her talk countless times about the poor brother who was taken away at birth, so as to calm her anxiety.

He has always done a great job.

In the eyes of others, he is smart and sensible, has good academic performance, has inherited the advantages of his parents in appearance, and has a strong family background.

His "good friend" said enviously: "Su Qingbai, you must be living a very happy life. Your parents love you so much and your grades are good. There is no trouble at all. If I were you, I would die of joy."

Su Qingbai had a smile on his face, "My parents are indeed very good."

Su Shengwen's requirements for him are only higher, not the highest, and he is bound to be trained to be the best of the Su family's generation. Chu Xia's mood is always very unstable, and most of the time he focuses on his existence like a ghost. For the younger brother in this family, after the onset of illness, he always cursed him viciously.

Su Shengwen and Zhou Ang told him that Chu Xia was just sick, this was not her real thought, let him be more sensible.

So he always gently comforted Chu Xia's emotions, even if he was scolded, he didn't take it to heart.

But his heart is not more than a layer of steel armor than others, and it will hurt even if it is pierced by a knife.

Over time, he always put on a perfect shell called "Su Qingbai" in front of others. He is gentle and generous, and has a sense of restraint. Everyone will praise him when they see him.

He accepts compliments modestly and appropriately, as if painting a mask on his face.

But behind this smiling mask, he wasn't very happy.

"Qingbai is the most sensible..."

"Qingbai is really a sensible child..."

"Look at Qingbai, and then at you..."

"Qingbai is so sensible, he will definitely have great prospects in the future..."

"........."

Each "sensible" is like a soft vine with sharp thorns, binding him to a noun named Su Qingbai, no matter how hard he struggles, it will only make the sharp thorns pierce deeper, bringing out dripping flesh and blood.

He doesn't want to be sensible.

Only unloved children will be sensible early.

Su Shengwen is cool, Chu Xia is crazy, he knows that no one loves him.

But so what if you know, in front of outsiders, Su Shengwen is a model husband with a successful career and a promising future, and Chu Xia is a gentle and good wife who lives in simplicity, the two of them love each other deeply, and they even cultivated an excellent and sensible woman named Su Qingbai Son, they are simply the template of the perfect family.

No matter how cool Su Shengwen was, no matter how hysterical Chu Xia was, they always maintained their dignity and elegance in front of outsiders.

In the dead of night, he stared at himself in the mirror with gloomy and crazy eyes. He shed his sensible and perfect mask, and only had a twisted and dry soul.

He no longer expected Su Shengwen and Chu Xia to love him, or they did love him, but he couldn't feel it.

What happened afterwards was a ridiculous farce in his eyes.

Chu Xia found his own brother, his name is Yi Chenliang.

It was the first time Su Qingbai saw him standing on the podium, and he knew it was him when he saw his facial features that were almost similar to Su Shengwen.

At that time, he was laughing with the little girl next to him. He seemed not interested in a new student transferred to the class. He lowered his head to do the question. The male student at the front desk turned his head and said something to him. He smiled and kicked The opponent's stool kicked.

He seemed to be living happily and cheerfully.

Most importantly, Yi Chenliang lived a real life.

He laughs when he is happy, and curses when he is angry, all his emotions are written on his face.

He is very close to a classmate named Yun Fang in his class, they are always getting tired of being together, Yi Chenliang seems to be very happy every day.

Every day after school, Chu Xia would ask him if he had talked to his younger brother, and he had to make up some nonsense every time to deal with it.

Yi Chenliang is so happy, why do they insist on bothering him?

What was the good of having him back in this deformed and depressing home?

Su Qingbai dragged on until Chu Xia fell ill again and tried to commit suicide.

Chu Xia cried and begged him to see Yi Chenliang.

So one day after evening self-study, he found Yi Chenliang in front of the laboratory building and explained the ins and outs to him.

"They want to see you tomorrow, you must be like meeting your biological parents, right?" Su Qingbai said, but he hoped that Yi Chenliang would stay away from them, and it would be good to be happy like this.

So he crossed his arms and showed a rare annoying, condescending look, "Of course, I don't welcome you back so much."

Sure enough, as he expected, his condescending and arrogant appearance is very annoying.

Yi Chenliang's expression was not good. When the classmate named Yun Fang came, the two of them sang and ran against him. Su Qingbai almost couldn't hold back his face and smiled, but he still acted dutifully, and said with a dark face: "Do you know?" Do you know how much your parents went through to find you? Do you still have a smile on your face?"

His younger brother really hated him even more, and He Yunfang turned around and left.

He thought of Su Shengwen and Chu Xia's behavior, so he simply added to the fire.

"Yi Chenliang!" He shouted behind them: "No matter what you think, the blood relationship is endless!"

So run as far as you can.

He stood under the streetlight for a long while with a gloomy expression, and when the two of them walked away, he couldn't help but smile.

He also drove a luxury car to the housekeeper and said, young master, I'm here to pick you up... What kind of TV dramas is Yi Chenliang usually watching?

He thought that as long as Yi Chenliang could show enough disgust, according to his father's behavior style, he would never make things too ugly, but he was still too young, and he didn't have a thorough understanding of official affairs, and he underestimated His fucking obsession with Yi Chenliang.

The two of them got people to England without saying a word.

He transferred back to the school in Beijing, and Su Shengwen wouldn't let him interfere with Yi Chenliang's affairs. He was warned by his father after he tried a few times. Later, when he went to his grandfather's birthday banquet, Chang Ziqi kept asking about Yi Chenliang's affairs. .

His cousin is cold and rigid, and the things on the scene are reasonable, but he always puts his dislikes on the surface. For example, Chang Ziqi dislikes him very much, and even fought with him often when he was a child, saying that he was hypocritical.

But in fact, Su Qingbai likes this cold cousin very much. He was raised very well by his grandfather. Although he is sometimes awkward and doesn't like him very much, when he sees that he is alone among the brothers and sisters, he always sits silently. Go to his side, pinch your nose and say a few words to him, and then get annoyed by him and want to fight him, but you can't beat him.

They used to fight a lot when they were young, of course he was just playing around with Chang Ziqi, but when he grows up he wants to save face, Chang Ziqi is always very polite on the surface, in fact he won't even call him cousin.

Chang Ziqi asked him about Yi Chenliang several times overtly and secretly, and he also knew that Yun Fang had been looking for Yi Chenliang, so he took the opportunity to tell him about Yi Chenliang in England, and even And got punched by him.

He only hoped that the boy named Yunfang would be able to win some anger, quickly take Yi Chenliang away, and face Chu Xia every day, no matter how lively and cheerful his temper is, he would be depressed, Yi Chenliang is not him.

As a result, during the Chinese New Year, Su Shengwen took him to Switzerland, and when he got off the plane, he found out that Yi Chenliang was in Switzerland, and immediately felt that his father was so cunning that he even hid it from him.

When he arrived at the place where Yi Chenliang and Chu Xia lived, he saw Yi Chenliang who had changed a lot. He didn't seem so happy anymore, and his always smiling face was a bit gloomy, which made him frown.

So he told Yi Chenliang the news by insinuating, but was pushed back by Yi Chenliang, neither hard nor soft.

"Chang Ziqi still asks me about you every day. I heard that he is very close to Yun Fang. Do you think he wants to know about you, or Yun Fang wants to know about you?" He said to Yi Chenliang with a smile .

Hearing from Chang Ziqi that Yun Fang was going crazy looking for him, and the two of them usually had such a good time, at least let Yi Chenliang know that Yun Fang was looking for him.

"Did you tell him?" Yi Chenliang asked him, but actually clenched his hands tightly.

Su Qingbai didn't know why it was a bit unpleasant to watch, "I told you, Chang Ziqi beat me up, and I told him you are in England."

"Switzerland and England are quite far apart, aren't they, brother." He looked gloating, but actually anxious.

Silly brother, all your good friends have found the wrong place, and you are still here watching TV leisurely.

Yi Chenliang's expression changed as expected.

When he was eating, he rubbed his hands secretly, "Brother, these red strings seem to be a pair?"

He vaguely remembered that Yunfang also had one in his hand, although he didn't quite understand why his good brother insisted on wearing two identical bracelets, just like he didn't understand why Yunfang had to feed his brother milk before.

But at least I can remind him.

"It's not a pair. I bought it from a small stall by the sea. It costs five yuan and ten sticks. Brother, if you want me to bring it to you next time." Yi Chenliang ate the ribs without haste.

"...No need." Su Qingbai glared at him resentfully. He didn't make trouble when it was time to make trouble. Su Shengwen might send him back when trouble started, "Maybe I remembered wrongly."

The younger brother didn't live up to expectations, and he really couldn't get in the way. He returned to Beijing after the Chinese New Year. It wasn't until a few months later that he heard that Yi Chenliang was planning to return to China. Although the plan was rough, it was very feasible. I contacted the bearded foreign teacher I knew before, and asked him to help Yi Chenliang at a critical time.

Later, Yi Chenliang finally left this deformed home, and Su Qingbai heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought, one is enough for him, and the Su family doesn't need another Su Qingbai.

Chu Xia and Su Shengwen finally divorced, and the more than ten years of farce finally came to an end, and he felt unprecedented relief.

Even if he still has to play the role of an obedient and sensible Su Qingbai.

But Yi Chenliang is still Yi Chenliang.

And he was Su Qingbai before, and he will be Su Qingbai in the future.

It can only be Su Qingbai.
